With the Play to Win Capstone project, Dubai Airports rapidly transformed a diverse set of AI initiatives into a structured and actionable roadmap in just six weeks. The AI Trends in Business workshop gave us a clear view of how organisations are using AI to drive productivity, while the AI Balanced Scorecard workshop helped us define a holistic framework to track implementation across the enterprise. René's upbeat energy and facilitation style made the entire experience highly engaging for everyone involved.
